Rafting and jet boat return

Did this with my husband on a weekend away. Reasonable price. The guide was informative, had a sense of humour. The rafting was tamer than I had expected having done it before at other places, but still enjoyable. The jet boat ride was very short. Not enough changing rooms to accommodate different groups, so had to wait for others to finish.

Hi Rosemary, We're sorry to hear you were ain't able to fully experience our rafting adventure due to the environmental conditions at the time of your booking. The Waiau River is a Grade 2 River so it is on the tamer side of things, however there are still rapids that are great fun. If there is anything further we could potentially do for you or anything you'd like to discuss, please email us at Marc@hanmerspringsattractions.nz. We do hope to see you again when conditions are better. Cheers, The Hanmer Springs Attractions Team

Lots of fun for the family

This was the perfect experience for our 9 year olds. They loved the thrill of rafting, cliff jumping and the water fights along the way. The bonus was the jet boat ride back. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this for families or anyone wanting to get out to view the sights on the river. It was a fun way to spend a couple of hours.

Disappointing

Saw one rapid and spent the rest of the time being blown upstream. Greatly disappointing experience.

Actually pretty boring

We booked a rafting & jetboat experience last minute for a good price. The experience itself is actually pretty boring. Floating down the river, chit-chat, not really interesting background info (i don't mind the housing prices) and no sincere enthousiasm or interest by personnel / instructor. After floating for 1,5 hour we boarded the jet boat. Overall: It's fun - in relation to the lastminute pricing - but you don't miss much if you skip it, definitely skip if you pay the full prize.
